"Google Answers" removes "the Big Apple"

[Bapopik at AOL.COM]

   Google is a disgrace.  This should be reported somewhere.  Google should be embarrassed for this.  Are you listening, Gersh Kuntzman?
   Someone asked about "A day late and a dollar short," and the Google Answer team came up with a bad answer.  I reposted my ADS-L answer, adding a brief intro about what the American Dialect Society is.  Google removed the answer and told me it was "spam."  Spam--like the scholarly, non-profit American Dialect Society was some penis enlargement ad.
   Gerald Cohen wrote to the Google Answers team, and the "day late and dollar short" answer is back on--without any explanation of the ADS.
   Today, my "Big Apple" answer was removed.  I had the temerity to tell them that "the Big Apple" doesn't come from whores, that a Google search mechanism that gives this as the first answer is not good, and to give a link to the Mayor of New York City's web site.
   Google Answers told me that comments cannot be critical of Google!
